“The central message of this manifesto, and of all the resources at RevolutionaryAct.com, is that each of us has the opportunity to reclaim responsibility for our own well-being, even in the face of real challenges,” says Gerasimo. “To me, this award feels like an affirmation of that message, and also a huge support of our magazine’s commitment to helping change the world for the healthier.”

The Eddie and Ozzie Awards is the largest competition in magazine publishing and is held each year in New York City during the annual FOLIO: conference.

There is pretty much the coolest, best health info on this site. — Amy Wechter

Another example of the government attempting to switch focus from the real food safety issues LONG before the food gets to our kitchen. What we need is that $2million granted to Revolutionary Act who could REALLY educate consumers on the real issues of food safety! — Cait Pomeroy

This (the Vanishing of the Bees screening at the Trylon Theater in Minneapolis) was such an incredible eye-opener! I’m so excited for future RevAct Meetups. — Sarina Buonannata

As an emergency physician, I regularly deal with the devastation of the “discretionary disease” of the West that results from a physically inactive lifestyle combined and a surfeit of empty calories. I fully endorse Ms. Gerasimo’s revolution, a happy revolution that just might keep you from seeing too much of me. — Kevin Allen, MD

What an absolutely amazing, powerful article. The VERY best I have seen on the current health situation. It should be a very strong wakeup call for many. I am going to keep, copy, and share this. — Marsha

Everyone should read this and vow to take charge of their health and wellness and not be manipulated by lobbyists and marketing. — Sandy Gaffney

Wow! Pilar Gerasimo must have been ‘channeling a message from above when she wrote this article! I am going to cut out the entire article and tape it to my motivation board to look at every morning. I’m a grad student in nutrition who’s embarking on a second career in nutrition and health communications and counseling, and in just four pages, this article sums up all the reasons why I felt compelled to change course. You can bet that it will be shared and quoted liberally and often! Thanks so much for your insight, passion and inspiration. — Kathy Sanchez

Words cannot express how much I liked your article “Being Healthy Is a Revolutionary Act.” I was inspired after reading it to immediately go to my computer to join the Healthy Revolution (RevolutionaryAct.com) and share the article with everyone I know. — Sherri Dahlheim

I finally realized that two years ago I made the decision to change. It has been very slow but there is movement. Because of articles like this I am renewed about keeping up the trend. I am still too fat and don’t move enough but every second I think about doing something to change. Thank you for your help. — Michael Meeks

Each day is another opportunity to bring one more person on board! Our future as a healthy society depends on it! — S. Reiter

COMMENTS FROM HEALTHY REVOLUTION SUBSCRIBERS

U GUYS ROCK for coming up with a poster like this. LOOOOVE IT !!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!! — Jesus Cappuccino

I would love to spread your awesome message around my college campus, FAU in Boca Raton, FL!! — Julen Key

Hi! I would love to put up your posters in my office building in the common areas. I work in a bustling, but non-pedestrian friendly suburb of Washington, DC. We have quite a few challenges to overcome to incorporate exercise and healthy eating into our daily routine as we tend to drive everywhere, and most of the food options in the area are not what I would define as good, long-term options. I’m sure your posters would provide some much needed encouragement for the people who work here, and perhaps that would trickle back down to their families at home. Many thanks for all your good work! — Karen Berry
